Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

I've noticed that Carlos Delgado has a very mechanically sound swing, but there is one important flaw. His hips open far too early, and even before the bat is in the hitting zone, his hips are fully rotated.

I've noticed that Delgado's hips seem to be to far ahead most of the time. Yet strangely enough, he has never really been that good at hitting anything hard and in.
